          • Definition(s)
            • A diagnostic test that detects viral particles in blood or bodily fluids. Through a process called PCR, or polymerase chain reaction, small amounts of pathogen DNA are amplified — or copied --- to sufficient levels for detection. Studies of isolated pieces of DNA are nearly impossible without PCR amplification. NPR

            • As ICMR has allowed rapid antibody testing in India, experts believe that it will help the agencies to enhance screening and identifying capabilities. Presently the government uses the PCR tests to detect Covid-19 from samples of throat or nasal swab of people with symptoms. - India Today by

            • Most coronavirus testing discussed by public officials and the media refers to polymerase chain reaction testing, better known as PCR. The RT-PCR machine heats and cools the samples in a process that essentially Xeroxes the DNA, making thousands of copies of any genetic material in the samples. - Live Science by

            • واکنش زنجیره‌ای پلیمراز (به انگلیسی: Polymerase Chain Reaction) که مخفف آن PCR می‌باشد. واکنش زنجیره‌ای پلیمراز (PCR) تکنیکی در زیست‌شناسی مولکولی است و به منظور تکثیر یک نسخه منفرد یا نسخه‌های کمی از یک قطعهDNA با توالی خاص به تعداد هزار یا میلیون‌ها نسخه به کار می‌رود. این تکنیک ابزاری آسان و ارزان قیمت برای تکثیر یک قطعه خاص از DNA است و برای اهدافی همچون تشخیص و نظارت بر بیماری‌های ژنتیکی، شناسایی مجرمان (در زمینهٔ پزشکی قانونی) و مطالعه عملکرد یک بخش هدف از DNA مورد استفاده قرار می‌گیرد.[۱] - Wiki by Sina Salehi
